The kind and very carefully-written
letter which Mr.. Carlisle mas sent to MIR.
Randall, in answer to the latter's inquiry
whether the revenue reformers would &C
cept his arple-jack bill as basis for re-
ducing the revenue, may do something
toward convincing him that he made
mistake in not supporting the Morrison
bill. Mr.. Carlisle, in his letter, points
out that the apple-jack bill would in
crease rather than reduce the revenue,
and that the free list in the bill, which
Mr.. Randall speaks of with sucn evident
pleasure, Is a sham. Mr. Carlisle is q
very honest man, and there is no one In
Congress who is better acquainted with
the tariff than he is. He sees very clearly
that there could be no reduction Of the
revenue with the apple-jack bill as a basis
tor action, and, hence, IL is hardly prob
Il BILE that the revenue Ietormers Will con-
sent to Mr.. Randalps proposition.
1t is now very clear that this Congress
will do nothing to reduce the revenues,

men that an extra session will be called

Editor Fortune, OF the colored peoples
organ, made speech in Trenton, n. j.,
the other night, which is said to have
been displeasing to the Republicans. He
SAID that his race had been grossly neg
lected by the Republicans, and that Pres
ident Cleveland had done more for the
amelloration of the race than most Of the
previous Republican administrations.
Concluding, he said: "Rally to the sup
port of Cleveland and the Democratic
party in 1888" Fortune is evidently a
man of sense. A few speeches delivered
by him IN the South wouldn't do any
harm, provided they were as sound as
that delivered at Trenton.

ADMISSION DAY.

1t Is fit and proper that the recurrence
OF the anniversary of the admission of Cal
uornla into the Union of States should be
observed by some ceremonial, and we can
conceive of no body of men who can with
greater propriety conduct it than the Pho
neers and the Native Sons of the State.
That the organization which embraces so
many of the latter should have fixed upon
Admission Day as its especial holiday is
emlnentiy appropriate. The chief cere-
monlal of observance of the anniversary by
general consent is now committed TO these
young men, and with the conviction that
the trust will not be permitted to fall into
dISuse. The admission of California into
the sisterhood of States was one of the
most important events in the history of the
nation. 1t was fraught with momen.uous
political and social consequences, and the
eject upon the nation, under the condi-
tons attached, may be said to have been
or as vital a character as any of the events
that clustered about the unrest of the ante
Rebellion period. The anniversary recalls
stirring memories, and ought to awaken
patriotic emotions and renew the fealtv of
Californians to the indissoluble Union of
sovereign States

Settling the Sta.e.

Some time next month a party of South
Carolina negroes, comprising twenty five
o. thirty families, are expected to come to
California from South Carolina. Rev. John
Petty, Methodist clergyman of the same
race, was recently out here looking about
fra location for colony of his people,
and, after finding it, he went back to get
all he could to come West with him. He
was pleased with Shasta county and its re-
sources, and has nearly decided to locate
his colony on tract of about II 900 acres
near Shingletown, and east of Redding. 1t
is timber land, well adapted to general
farming, and the protector of the colony is
convinced that his people will do much
better here than in their present surround
lngs. He promised to select as immigrants
only the brightest, healthiest and most in
telligent of the families in that region. 1t
Is believed that many of the colonists will
lind immediate employment as laborers In
the vicinity of their proposed settlement.
A gentleman from Minnesota called at
immigration Association headquarters a
few days ago. He said there were rs or 100
families that he knew of who were consid-
ering the question of moving to California.
They are anxious to locate as a colony, and
he had been looking all through the south
ern part of the State for suitable location.
He was delighted with the country there.

THE Grand Council of the Young Mems
Institute, should learn the value of words.
1t passed resolutions expressive Of its sor-
row over the illness of Governor Bartlett,
which do credit to the hearts of the men,
bers, and which speak of the Governor
with the respect and esteem which he has
so well deserved. But unfortunately for
the Grand Council it speaks also in one
resolution of the possible death of the Gov
ernor, as public calamity at this time"
We are unwilling to believe that the Coun-
Gil entertained even the remotest thought
of being understood as expressing the
judgment that any other time the Gov
ernor's death would not be an event to be
deeply deplored. Nor are we willing to
entertain the belief that the delegate who
drew the resolutions well-known news
paper unauthorized to reflect upon the
possible successor of Governor Bartlett.
Yet the words of the resolution would bear
the Interpretation such suspicion would
suggest, because they are strikingly similar
to expressions made by certain of the Dem
cratic press. If there was any intentional
reflection by the author of the resolution
upon the gentleman chosen by the people
for the emergency of the death of the Gov
ernor, then the authorship was as small
and detestable piece of business as ever
engaged the ingenuity of human mean
ness. If there was no such intention then
the expression was blunder that would
scarcely be pardonable in a school-boy. OF
one thing there is no doubt; the Council
was not a party to any possible covert
meaning under the resolution; it would
spurn the base idea of such innuendos with
hot indignation. But the incident will
serve to make deliberative bodies more
critical of the phraseology of resolutions
they indorse-and those of coincidence are
very frequently faulty. hating and Grip
